I agree; an excellent whiskey and so glad I bought it shortly after the review. Went back to my local store today to check out some other single malts, checked to see if they still carried the Yoichi - they do - however the price has gone up $100.00 usd over what I originally paid. Clerk said it was due to its new found popularity! Won't be rebuying this again - very good dram but not at this price point.
My sentiments exactly Peter, although I would reach for the Miyagikyo first. This Yoichi rivals some of the better moderately peated (15-25 ppm) single malts from Scotland. 🥃
Fantastic and information filled review buddy! I am yet to really dive too deep down the Japanese whisky journey but do have a soft spot for Nikka from the barrel, pure malt and the Hibiki Harmony. Keep them coming! Cheers!
Loving this info, keep it up. I didn’t know this one was peated..Don’t have too many Japanese whiskies but I tried The Peated from The Matsui, that controversial distillery and I liked it..Right now looking for Ichiro’s Malt The Peated.
Not quite. I have one more review to do. My last one didn't hit its mark so I'm going to finish my Japanese whisky review on a low note. But it does not diminish the fact that I was enjoying all of the Japanese whiskeys I reviewed in this series.
Yes sir! This one took me a few pours but I grew (or maybe it evolved) to love it! Super fun to search for notes in this one. Great vid!
Thanks Freed.

That's the case for a lot of whiskey these days. Shame.

I'm starting to be a peat lover. So that's why I'd reach for the Yoichi first, but I do like the Miyagikyo...it's refreshing
This is my fav whisky - a Yoichi10yr had a limited release this year. I live in Tokyo and only seen a couple of bottles, still never tried it.
I like this one as well. Still waiting for more Japanese whiskey to hit the market. I like what I've had so far.
What’s the price on those in Japan ?

Thanks Jeff! I've really enjoyed reviewing these Japanese whiskies. I have 1 more review before I move on to Rye whiskeys. Cheers!
Another great Japanese Whiskey review! I see this in a couple stores. If I'm ever in the mood for a light peated malt I'll give this a consideration.
Thanks Anthony. Cheers!
Great review as always Peter!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support.
Long time fan of the Yoichi 15 YO but I haven’t tried this one yet.
This one is the only Yoichi I've had. Age statements on Japanese whisky are hard to come by these days.
looks like this will be my next Japanese whiskey to try! cheers
I think it's one of the better ones out there. Cheers!

Thanks! The Matsui Sakura Cask review is up next.
Sounds like you saved the best for last…sold!
Cheers 🥃
